THlE NI~ICER I Y FRWWn-AT, VUST ocal USO Club Offers Variety Of Entertainment During Week Organization Provides Means, --- Schedule of Events for G.l. s 3 3 Coeds Take Over 'U' Campus, Enter Exclusive Male Haunts Orientation Program Is To Assist All Incoming Students To keep local G.L's occupied, the Ann Arbor USO, backed by the par- ticipation of University coeds, main- tains perpetual entertainment throu- ghout the week. The' lounge, writing room and kitchen provide opportunity for relaxation and refreshment, and servicemen may wander in at any time of the day to read the news- papers, play cards, chat with jun- ior hostesses, play the piano, listen to the phonograph or nickelodeon, write letters home and so forth. Since "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," the USO starts the week off with a Sunday morning breakfast, which is served free of charge to all G.I. comers be- tween 10 a.m. and noon Sunday. The rest of the day is spent on a trip to Greenfield Village, listening to a program of classical recorded music, or in the general open house at the club. Monday night is. officers' night, when the building is turned over to local officers. Tuesday is the "Sing Swing," with group singing and refreshments, and every Wed- nesday a dance is held. Thursday is "ruckus night," with games, charades and other forms of enter- tainment, and a dance is held each Friday from 8 p.m. to midnight. following a dancing class from 7 to 8 p.M. Saturday climaxes the USO week, with picnics, swimming parties and special dances planned by the coed and Ann Arbor "regiments." The groups decorate the ballroom along various themes, and provide special entertainment. Men only are taken to Whitmore Lake on the swimming parties, but on picnics, which often take place at Saline Valley Farms, junior hostesses accompany the group. The dances have taken various forms, such as the "Hades Hop," "Coney Island arty," "Plantation Party," and other themes. y { Servicemen Help Keep Michigan From Being a Dateless Campus The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps have kept the Michigan cam- pus a comparatively bright spot as far as dating and social affairs are concerned and, although the big- name bands and weekly fraternity parties have vanished with the war, the entering freshman women may expect to have almost as good a time. as she would have found in the be- moaned pre-war days. The coed is given a start during orientation week with coke dates, in- dividual and collective, with fresh- man men, so she may meet at the very beginning members of her own class. Although she mustn't expect to "meet her future husband," the coed may look forward to possible future friendships from the coke dates. If thW statement proves false, there is no cause for deep disap- pointment because, even with that inevitable wartime manpower shortage, there are still men on, the University campus, and there are still many ways of meeting them. The Ruthven teas and the week- ly parties at the International Cen- ter are obvious spots to form new friendships. If you are in an organized Uni- versity house, especially one of the larger ones, there will be the inevit- able parties for servicemen. Also instrumental in the open season on servicemen is the USO. Registration will be held at Harris Hall, the USO's clubhouse, and you will be assigned to a "Regiment," which will hold meetings and give parties. Further information on the USO may be found elsewhere in this section. Classrooms are also instrumental as meeting places. There are few classes at the University with no men at all, and often out-of-class discussions about the subject lead to lasting friendships. Church groups are still, as they The weaker sex has become thee stronger in numbers on the MichiganI campus, and every phase of campusr activity reflects the sudden shift. V It took a war to do it, and women are now sneaking through the fronti door of the Union in such numbers that it has lost its novelty. George,t the doorman, is only one man.. and, by the law of averages, he turns his head once in a while.t Things have gotten so that every time George blinks a, coed takes ad- vantage of his eyes being closed. s Even The Daily In the dear dead days there were so many men flocking about the Union lobby, entrance and frontt walk that no woman would have a chance to get through the door with- out being caught. But today bravert members of the women's swimmingt classes have a minimum of difficulty in leaving the Union head-on. , Women even belong in the Union offices. Bomber Scholarship Com- mittee is half-women, and the oldr rules barring women from the stu - dent, offices can't operate when the1 Union has given up its sovereignty and come out for cooperation with the League, now called the Women's War Council. If there were a doubt before, it'st dispelled by the Daily staff. Two1 energetic members of the distaff side have held the ,position of managing1 i always have been, one of the best meeting-places. 'Here persons have at least one interest in commnon,1 and it is easy to talk with strang- ers when eating supper in a church basement or picnicking with the group on the church lawn. Although local extra-curricular ac- tivities are 'to a certain extent segre- gated, there is a possibility in them; of making new acquaintances with the perennial popular subject, men. Dance committees are legion for making friends, and there are mixed groups in the Post-War Council, the Michigan outh for Democratic Ac- tion, the Inter-Racial Association, and the Daily. However, don't let it be said we're encouraging you to join the above for social purposes. How- ever, there's nothing against side- lines. Working in, stores, University cafeterias, and soda bars is anoth- er popular acquaintance-method. Who can remain inside a shell while sruggling with the dishes behind a soda fountain? In summary, this is not a com- pletely dateless campus. Men are still where you find them, although the quantity may be somewhat de- creased, and they may be wearing different camouflage . . . khaki,, green, and blue. They're still men, and they want to have a good time as much as you do. editor for the last four semesters. If a woman had been appointed managing editor several years ago it would have made a banner headline ... today it's taken for granted. And the Sports Staff Editorial staff night editors used to be men, men and some more men. This semester one lone male has slipped into arenight editorship on the home stretch. And then there is the sports staff . . some more women. Last year saw a woman associate sports editor. The business staff has experienced similar revolution, and the women have run it since a year ago at this time. Getting back to the Union, if the women workers should go on strike the place would be paralyzed. If the coeds should say, "Remove Union restrictions or you don't eat," the consequences might be effective. Men's entertainment sunk to such a level that a group of fraternity pledges tried to crash Junior Girls Play. Scarcity of wigs and artificial hair in Ann Arbor ditched the pro- ject. Vice Versa Life Even dating has been affected, and the independence of the coed has become an accomplished fact when she takes her Friday night date home to the barradks, kisses him good night, and treks home with hours to spare. Women once felt themselves restricted by "keeping hours." War- time has turned the tables. Hitchhiking has also undergone a radical change since Pearl Harbor. Men in uniform are prevented by service regulations from lifting a thumb, and so it has become profit- able to take a date on week-end jaunts which once were stag parties. The date, understand, does the thumbing. Yes, the age of chivalry really is dead. And then there are the grounds. Even blue jeans and plaid shirts have come into their own, as campus wo- men have taken over the keeping of the campus. And So All this must have its social im- plications. What will the future hold? Is a woman to sit at home, waiting for a man to telephone? Hardly She must be out of the house, running the campus in some way or other. Picking cherries and raking leaves, the campus woman might as well forget that spotless, band-box ap- pearance. So . . . she can no longer attract men by frailness and femi- ninity. What's to be done? As a matter of fact, now is the time to say, "Women of the campus, unite! ,You have nothing to lse but your chains." . . . of custom and tradition which have in the past made this a man's campus. Whether you're a sophisti- cated senior or a wide-eyed frosh you'll be living in skirts and sweaters. They're so comfortable and practi- cal for your busy college days. We have a wide selection on hand and will be getting in new things every day.
